Russian Gulch

"We're talking about a social movement.  It was something that...... was growing, the idea that you could train at any age, that almost anyone could run a marathon if they ran slow enough, and were patient and drank enough liquid along the way." --Kenny Moore on the birth of the running movement in the 1970s

Great morning for a run or hike at Russian Gulch.  It was a "warm" 56 degrees, calm and cloudy.  On our way back, we got sprinkled by a light shower, not bad at all.   It was probably perfect for John, who walked a bit with us and then took off early to do the Boontling Classic 5K.  He was hoping that it wouldn't be too warm.  Because he was short on time this morning, he gave me a photo of Russian Gulch taken earlier.  It looks like a summer morning photo??

Also, because John has done so much for this blog, I'm putting this Art Class Flyer in for him.   If you have the time, it would be something fun  to do.

Present this morning:  Geri, Nancy T., Roger, Mark, Charlene, Ron, Cheryl, Melissa, Nancy B., Rick, Barbara, Joel, John, Bob, Fran, Nancy and Tom (17).


                       
NEXT SUNDAY, May 11th @ 8:00 A.M.:  BIG RIVER, see "Our Routes" above and remember to bring mosquito repellant, if they like you.   The following Sunday, May 18th, has a very low tide at our time and we will go to Ward Ave.  Lots of firm beach to walk or run on.

I'm adding this footnote a little late, Thursday, the 8th.  Joel mentioned to me the last time we went to Big River, that if you park a few hundred feet  to the west of our normal spot (near where they launch the boats and kayaks), there are no mosquitos there.  I don't know how to start this now, should delegate someone to be the first one there and direct all those arriving later, but I won't, maybe next time.

EVERY TUESDAY @ 7:00 A.M.: RUSSIAN GULCH STATE PARK, beginning on Point Cabrillo Drive, 1/10 of a mile north of its south end.
EVERY THURSDAY @ 7:00 A.M.: VAN DAMME STATE PARK, beginning at the beach.
